The behavior of financial regulators before and during the 2007-2010 financial crisis has been put into question in several countries, where the actions and omissions by the bodies in charge of financial regulation and oversight has often contributed to the financial meltdown . This has prompted discussions and regulatory reforms at the national, European and international levels with regard to the ways in which accountability mechanisms could help to improve the legitimacy and the efficiency of financial regulation and supervision.

This symposium gathers leading scholars and practitioners from the European Union and the United States with expertise in the field of accountability in the financial sector. The main purpose of the event is to discuss about the role of accountability in financial regulation/supervision and, in the light of the financial crisis lessons, to propose policy measures  aimed at strengthening the accountability of financial regulators. The symposium adopts a highly multidisciplinary approach and, for such reason, it will be of great interest to scholars, practitioners and students from Law, Economics, Business and Political Sciences alike and, more generally, to all those interested in financial regulation and supervision.
